How to use the planner
- Ask each contractor to break their quote into the categories shown.
- Enter the amounts from your quotes. The planner contains no prices of its own.
- A category missing from a quote is a question to ask, not a saving.
- Add a contingency for conditions nobody can see until work begins.
